On November 20th 2015, a student union election was held in Konkuk University (KU) Glocal Campus but it was declared invalid because the turnout did not exceed 50 percent. In the following March, Kim won the by-election with the Am-hang-uh-sa student union. There was a 53.5 percent turnout (Counting seniors as graduate-to-be and only participants as the quorum). However, an objection was raised that the by-election should have involved seniors who enrolled seventh semesters in the quorum because it was held in March. If seniors who enrolled seventh semester are counted as valid voter, the turnout becomes 46.38 percent and the result gets invalid again.
Therefore, the Central Election Management Commission (CEMC) voted and decided to have a revote for the student union election. Kim, who thought the result was unfair, denied the revote and claimed that it was an election custom to count seniors as graduate-to-be and only participants as the quorum. However, CEMC told Kim of the disqualification and Glocal Central Committee members elected Cha Jun-hun (College of International Business) as the committee chairman. Consequently, Kim sued the school about this issue and students from the KU Seoul Campus All Student Representative Meeting voted to support Kim by making a proclamation.
